Why My Private Photography Tour Gives You More Than Just Pictures of Singapore
RICKY GUI . 4.5 TO 5.5 MINUTES READING TIME
When travelers search for a photography tour in Singapore, they usually expect two things: to explore scenic spots and to learn how to use their camera better. My private photography tours deliver both — but with an important difference. Along the way, I also take photos of you at Singapore’s most iconic landmarks. For many of my guests from the USA, Europe, and beyond, this adds tremendous value to the experience. After all, it’s not just about the images you take home, but also about the memories of yourself in the scene.

Why guest photos matter on a Singapore photography tour
If you’ve ever traveled solo or as a couple, you’ll know the challenge: who takes the photo when you want to be in the shot? Many tourists end up with rushed selfies, awkwardly framed portraits, or sometimes no photos at all. I’ve even seen a tripod topple over from a sudden gust of wind — a costly mistake that can damage your gear and waste precious sightseeing time.
That’s why during my private photography tours in Singapore, I step in as your photographer. Using your own camera or smartphone, I capture portraits of you at iconic landmarks so you can walk away with authentic, personal keepsakes. There’s no waiting for downloads, no hidden costs, and no worrying about carrying extra equipment. You’ll have the photos instantly, ready to share with friends and family or post on social media before the night is even over.
Unlike many larger photography tour companies that only focus on teaching technical skills, I believe your travel memories matter just as much. With over 20 years of professional photography experience across architecture, interiors, industry, and events, I know how to compose shots that showcase both the landmark and you as part of the story.
This simple yet thoughtful service is what makes my tours stand out. You’re not just learning how to photograph Singapore’s modern skyline and cultural districts — you’re also included in the frame. Whether it’s Marina Bay Sands glowing at night, the heritage streets of Chinatown, or the colorful shophouses of Kampong Glam, you leave with images that capture both the beauty of the city and your experience within it.
So instead of struggling with tripods, timers, or awkward selfies, let me help you return home with instant, memorable photographs from Singapore. My private tours are designed for visitors from the USA, Europe, and beyond, but are equally welcoming to travelers from all around the world who want something more personal than a standard tour.

Blending teaching with experience
Of course, the core of my tour is teaching. Depending on your interests, we may work on long exposures of Marina Bay Sands, try creative effects like zoom burst, or refine architectural perspectives around Chinatown. Pause, observe and shoot at the vibrant street of Little India. But I also pause to photograph you in the scene. This creates balance: you’re not pressured to always be behind the camera, and you’ll have time to simply enjoy being present in Singapore.
By blending instruction with a shared experience, the tour feels less like a class and more like a journey of discovery.

Built on 20 years of professional photography
With two decades of professional experience across architecture, interiors, industrial, and events, I bring a commercial photographer’s eye to every tour. This means I understand how to work with space, light, and timing — skills I naturally apply whether I’m guiding you through composition or capturing you against Singapore’s landmarks.
Many of my guests tell me this background gives them extra confidence. They know they’re learning from someone who has spent years behind the lens in demanding, real-world settings.
A tour designed for overseas visitors
Most of my guests come from the USA and Europe, often first-time visitors to Singapore. Many are surprised to discover that the city is far more than skyscrapers and shopping malls. On my tours, they experience a deeper side of Singapore — from the modern glow of Marina Bay to the heritage textures of Chinatown, Kampong Glam, or Little India.
That said, I also welcome travelers from around the region and beyond. Whether you’re visiting from neighboring Asia or further abroad, the tour is designed to give you an insider’s perspective, saving you time and letting you focus on what you enjoy most: photography and discovery. Even as a local, I continues to discover new perspectives in each trip, consistently learning is key to make sure you get the best spots.
